Statue of the white nun Amelie

Highlight • Monument

In the middle of the Wutzsee, in front of the remains of the Lindow monastery, there is a woman made of granite. Two meters high and almost 1,500 kilos.
The nun named Amelie is said to have been of extraordinary beauty. The young woman fled because she could no longer stand the life behind the monastery walls. In a way, a fate of Katharina von Bora, who later became the wife of Martin Luther.

The nun, named Amelie, was said to have been of extraordinary beauty. The young woman fled because she could no longer bear life behind the monastery walls. In a sense, she shared the same fate as Katharina von Bora,
